The fight for the new addition has been waged for some time, and the matter has been discussed thoroughly by the Wynot people prior to the election.
Public meetings have been held, at which the need for a new addition was emphasized, and at which those who opposed the additional school tax were also given a chance to express their opinions.
The proposed addition will be two stories high and will probably include a gymnasium and auditorium, class rooms, offices and other needed rooms.

Some classes are meeting in Supt. Sala’s office, while others have a very poor room in the basement.
